Astros interested in Ike Davis, he shrieked hysterically

ESPN New York's Adam Rubin says that the Astros, Brewers, Orioles, Rays and Rockies are all interested in Mets 1B Ike Davis.

This is the same Ike Davis who hit .205/.326/.334 in 103 games in 2013, with 101 strikeouts in 377 plate appearances. Yes, the same Ike Davis who hit 32 homers in 2012 (hitting .227/.308/.462). But just for comparison's sake:

Hmmm...well, color me embarrassed. According to Fangraphs, Wallace's first half and second half are nearly identical. That is when the All-Star Game is considered the half way point. I have always considered the end of June the halfway point.

When June ended the Astros were 30-52 and Wallace was "hitting" .114/.152/.227.

Ike Davis seems to be to be the classic rebound situation. In fact looking at his second half might be a good indication of that. On top of that he will most likely come cheap due to the down year. I would be fine playing Ike Davis over Brett Wallace any day of the year. The question remains what does all of this mean for Singleton.

Already did this last year with Chris Carter.....gave him the "regular playing time" he needed and we got some HRs, a million SOs and average (1B) to poor (LF) defense.....let's move past the eternal reclamation projects like Davis, Wallace & Carter.....
